Kernel Density Estimation for Linear Processes: Asymptotic Normality and Optimal Bandwidth Derivation
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of estimating the marginal density of a linear process by kernel methods is considered. Under general conditions, kernel density estimators are shown to be asymptotically normal. Their limiting covariance matrix is computed. We also find the optimal bandwidth in the sense that it asymptotically minimizes the mean square error of the estimators. The assumptions involved are easily verifiable.

Asymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
Kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics. The k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in which the bandwidth is varied depending on the location of the sample points. In this paper, we initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...
متن کاملKernel Density Estimation for Linear Processes by Wei
In this paper we provide a detailed characterization of the asymptotic behavior of kernel density estimators for one-sided linear processes. The conjecture that asymptotic normality for the kernel density estimator holds under short-range dependence is proved under minimal assumptions on bandwidths. We also depict the dichotomous and trichotomous phenomena for various choices of bandwidths when...

In this paper, we prove the strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the kernel density estimator proposed by Jones [12] for length-biased data.The approach is based on the invariance principle for the empirical processes proved by Horváth [10]. All simulations are drawn for different cases to demonstrate both, consistency and asymptotic normality and the method is illustrated by ...
متن کاملNon-parametric adaptive estimation of a multivariate density ?
The properties of adaptive non-parametric kernel estimators for the multivariate probability density f(x) (and its derivatives) of identically distributed random vectors εn, n ≥ 1 at a given point are studied. It is supposed that the vectors εn, n ≥ 1 form a martingaledifference process (εn)n≥1 and the function to be estimated belongs to a class of densities slightly narrower than the class of ...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation for Stationary Processes
We consider the kernel density and regression estimation problem for a wide class of causal processes. Asymptotic normality of the kernel estimators is established under minimal regularity conditions on bandwidths. Optimal uniform error bounds are obtained without imposing strong mixing conditions. The proposed method is based on martingale approximations and provides a unified framework for no...
